Tax Time Tablescape

Even though the tax filing deadline has been extended due to the Coronavirus, Pat wanted to set a table to acknowledge Uncle Sam's annual mission to shed us of our money (like I told you before, she has a wicked sense of humor....) This year, she used place mats made from IRS tax forms and decoupage and then clear dinnerware. It made for a fun table!




Flatware is Black "Decision" Primastone by Noritake

The dinnerware is "Milano" by Pasabahce

The glassware was from Pier 1 years ago

Pat used "money bandanas" from Michael's as napkins

We bought several money bags from eBay years ago when I retired. Pat set my retirement dinner table with the theme "Living Off the Public Dole" -  am I the only one with a sister like that???



One last look from the other end of the table
Where it came from:
Tax Forms Place Mats - Handmade from heavy cardstock grade sheet of paper, tax forms, and lots of decoupage
